"For smaller projects like microservices, isolated applications, even parts of the UI that most users don’t see, experiment."

I agree with this part 100%. We're still rocking BackboneJS that we chose in 2011 or so. Sure it's behind the times as they say, but it's rock solid for our uses. We're in too deep to convert now and the cost doesn't outweigh the benefits. Clients are happy and we're happy.

In other newer areas, we're experimenting, mostly with RabbitMQ for small things on the backend and React Native on Mobile. With UI on new projects not in the core web app, we experiment. Works rather well and keeps us sane with the pace of JS frameworks.
